Changelog

0.11.0 (2021/01/09)

Very important change! The license text has been changed to a more generic BSD 3-Clause. Functionally (and hopefully legally) this changes nothing as the license a BSD 3-Clause anyway but with non-standard text -> it was based on the Scipy license. After agreement from all copyright holders (see #841) we changed the license to make it clearer that the project is licensed in a standard way.

Other major breaking change is the removal of the menpowidgets code as this has been functionally broken for probably close to 2 years. Removing this code simplifies the API and removes a common source of confusion. Examples still need to be updated across the board.

The project now has a unit test for passing mypy and passes a clean (non-strict) mypy check.

Python 3.9 builds are now supported by CI.

0.10.0 (2020/01/01)

Remove the last of the Cython code. This is in an effort to make supporting the package easier and also installing the package easier. Although we no longer support Windows in the open source builds - installing the package using pypi should now be trivial and thus essentially re-enable installation on Windows.

The breaking changes are possible differences in pixel outputs due to changing sampling methodologies.

  • Patch extraction now uses a pure Python fallback. In particular in the case where out of bounds patch extraction happens this now falls back to a sampling based strategy. The upside is that it is now possible to extract patches at subpixel locations using strategies such as cubic interpolation. The downside is that the nominal case of in bounds nearest neighbour sampling is now around 2x slower.

  • Remove Cython based image warping. Previously we maintained a fork of scikit-image’s fast interpolation code for Affine transforms. Since warping is one of the key capabilities of Menpo, we have added a fast OpenCV based fallback for Homogeneous transforms (actually more general transforms than previously). If OpenCV is not available then a Scipy fallback is used. The OpenCV fast path is actually around 3 times faster for common operations such as rescaling an image by 2x. The scipy fallback, however, remains around 4 times slower so having OpenCV installed is recommended. Note that OpenCV does appear to have minor differences in behaviour to scikit-image particularly on the boundaries so this is considered a breaking change.

  • Remove hog and lbp features. The HoG and LBP features were difficult to maintain and underutilized in the package. According to Antonakos et al Dense-Sift features outperform all other features. For this reason, we have removed the old features as a number of bugs were identified when using them that could cause Python to segfault.

Github Pull Requests

  • #818 Pure-Python implementations of patch extraction (@jabooth, @patricksnape)

  • #822 remove native image features (hog/lbp) (@jabooth)

  • #839 Remove Cython image warping (@patricksnape)

0.9.2 (2019/08/19)

Remove more Cython code, in this case the gradient computation as the per Python code gives identical results. Fix the Trimesh.boundary_tri_index() method and add a unit test checking it’s behaviour. Fix was required for correct non-rigid ICP computation.

Github Pull Requests

  • #821 remove cython gradient implementation (@jabooth)

  • #832 Fix boundary_tri_index (@patricksnape)

0.9.1 (2019/07/12)

Remove the Cython version of the normal method and just use the Python version as the two have similar performance. Also make the Cython interpolation module optional.

Github Pull Requests

  • #816 Make skimage interpolation optional (@jabooth)

  • #820 remove cython normals module (@jabooth)

0.9.0 (2019/07/10)

Remove Python 2.x from the build matrix as it is to difficult to continue support as all major packages are sunsetting Python 2.x support in 2020. At this time no regressions have been added but Python 2.x compatibility will not be guaranteed from this release onwards. This release also adds Python 3.7 support and builds.

Furthermore, the build system has moved to using conda-forge as its package repository. This is in preparation for adding Menpo to conda-forge. Many requirements were updated in turn and this the major version bump.

This also adds support for the LJSONv3 format (https://github.com/menpo/landmarker.io/wiki/LEP-0001:-LJSON-v3)

0.8.1 (2017/05/06)

Menpo 0.8.1 includes a few new minor features, and Python 3.6 support.

Github Pull Requests

  • #753 .view_widget() on LazyList (@jabooth)

  • #777 convenience constructors for 3D rotations (@jabooth)

0.8.0 (2017/05/04)

Menpo 0.8.0 includes a variety of minor bug fixes and a few major features:

A large simplification is made to how Menpo handles landmarks. In the past, Landmarks were a special type in Menpo, they weren’t shapes. That meant we frequently had to access the underlying shape information (at .lms), which was always a litle clunky and confusing, especailly to newcomers.

In this release, we instead change the dynamic so that any shape can be attached as a landmark directly. If you only need to store a list of points with no groups or labels, you can now just use a PointCloud, which is totally natural in Menpo. The traditional features of LandmarkGroup (handling groups etc) are now available in a speciailization Shape called LabelledPointUndirectedGraph.

The migration is simple - just remove .lms anywhere from your codebase (a warning will be raised when you do use .lms - this will be deprecated in the future).

A smaller set of additional features in 0.8:

  1. Most menpo objects print a sensible string for their __repr__, which is helpful in the notebook.

  2. you can now tab complete landmark keys in the notebook.

0.7.0 (2016/05/20)

New release that contains some minor breaking changes. In general, the biggest changes are:

  • Use ImageIO rather than Pillow for basic importing of some image types. The most important aspect of this change is that we now support importing videos! Our GIF support also became much more robust. Note that importing videos is still considered to be relatively experimental due to the underlying implementation in imageio not being 100% accurate. Therefore, we warn our users that importing videos for important experiments is not advised.

  • Change multi-asset importing to use a new type - the LazyList. Lazy lists are a generic concept for a container that holds onto a list of callables which are invoked on indexing. This means that image importing, for example, returns immediately but can be randomly indexed. This is in contrast to generators, which have to be sequentially accessed. This is particularly important for video support, as the frames can be accessed randomly or sliced from the end (rather than having to pay the penalty of importing the entirety of a long video just to access the last frame, for example). A simple example of using the LazyList to import images is as follows:

    import menpo.io as mio
    images = mio.import_images('/path/to/many/images')  # Returns immediately
    image0 = images[0]  # Loading performed at access
    
    # Example of much simpler preprocessing
    preprocess_func = lambda x: x.as_greyscale()
    greyscale_images = images.map(preprocess_func)  # Returns immediately
    grey_image0 = greyscale_images[0]  # Loading and as_greyscale() performed at access
    
    # Visualizing randomly is now much simpler too!
    % matplotlib inline
    from menpowidgets import visualize_images
    visualize_images(greyscale_images)  # Can now randomly access list
    
  • Move one step closer to ensuring that all image operatons are copies rather than inplace. This means breaking some methods as there was no ‘non’ inplace method (the break was to change them to return a copy). Likely the most common anti-pattern was code such as:

    import menpo.io as mio
    image = mio.import_builtin_asset.takeo_ppm().as_masked()
    image.constrain_landmarks_to_bounds()
    

    Which now requires assigning the call to constrain_landmarks_to_bounds to a variable, as a copy is returned:

    import menpo.io as mio
    image = mio.import_builtin_asset.takeo_ppm().as_masked()
    image = image.constrain_landmarks_to_bounds()
    

Note that this release also officially supports Python 3.5!

Breaking Changes

  • ImageIO is used for importing. Therefore, the pixel values of some images have changed due to the difference in underlying importing code.

  • Multi-asset importers are now of type LazyList.

  • HOG previously returned negative values due to rounding errors on binning. This has been rectified, so the output values of HOG are now slightly different.

  • set_boundary_pixels is no longer in place.

  • normalize_inplace has been deprecated and removed. normalize is now a feature that abstracts out the normalisation logic.

  • gaussian_pyramid and pyramid always return copies (before the first image was the original image, not copied).

  • constrain_to_landmarks/constrain_to_pointcloud/constrain_mask_to_landmarks are no longer in place.

  • set_patches is no longer in place.

  • has_landmarks_outside_bounds is now a method.

New Features

  • from_tri_mask method added to TriMesh

  • LazyList type that holds a list of callables that are invoked on indexing.

  • New rasterize methods. Given an image and a landmark group, return a new image with the landmarks rasterized onto the image. Useful for saving results to disk.

  • Python 3.5 support!

  • Better support for non float64 image types. For example, as_greyscale can be called on a uint8 image.

  • New method rasterize_landmarks that allows easy image rasterization. By default, MaskedImages are masked with a black background. Use as_unmasked to change the colour/not returned masked image.

  • Add bounds method to images. This is defined as ((0, 0), (height - 1, width - 1)) - the set of indices that are indexable into the image for sampling.

  • Add constrain_to_bounds to PointCloud. Snaps the pointcloud exactly to the bounds given.

  • init_from_pointcloud method add to Image. Allows the creation of an image that completely bounds a given pointcloud. This is useful for both viewing images of pointclouds and for creating ‘reference frames’ for algorithms like Active Appearance Models.

  • init_from_depth_image method on PointCloud and subclasses. Allows the creation of a mesh from an image that contains pixel values that represent depth/height values. Very useful for visualising RGB-D data.

  • pickle_paths method.

  • Overwriting images now throws OverwriteError rather than just ValueError (OverwriteError is a subclass of ValueError) so this is not a breaking change.

Deprecated

  • The previously deprecated inplace image methods were not removed in this release.

  • set_h_matrix is deprecated for Homogeneous transforms.

  • set_masked_pixels is deprecated in favor of from_vector.

  • Deprecate constrain_landmarks_to_bounds on images.

  • #658 PCA Diamond problem fix (@patricksnape)

  • #635 Gaussian Markov Random Field (@nontas, @patricksnape)

0.6.0 (2015/11/26)

This release is another set of breaking changes for Menpo. All in_place methods have been deprecated to make the API clearer (always copy). The largest change is the removal of all widgets into a subpackage called menpowidgets. To continue using widgets within the Jupyter notebook, you should install menpowidgets.

Breaking Changes

  • Procrustes analysis now checks for mirroring and disables it by default. This is a change in behaviour.

  • The sample_offsets argument of menpo.image.Image.extract_patches() now expects a numpy array rather than a PointCloud.

  • All widgets are removed and now exist as part of the menpowidgets project. The widgets are now only compatible with Jupyter 4.0 and above.

  • Landmark labellers have been totally refactored and renamed. They have not been deprecated due to the changes. However, the new changes mean that the naming scheme of labels is now much more intuitive. Practically, the usage of labelling has only changed in that now it is possible to label not only LandmarkGroup but also PointCloud and numpy arrays directly.

  • Landmarks are now warped by default, where previously they were not.

  • All vlfeat features have now become optional and will not appear if cyvlfeat is not installed.

  • All label keyword arguments have been removed. They were not found to be useful. For the same effect, you can always create a new landmark group that only contains that label and use that as the group key.

Minor bug fixes and impovements including:

  • Menpo is now better at preserving dtypes other than np.float through common operations

  • Image has a new convenience constructor init_from_rolled_channels() to handle building images that have the channels at the back of the array.

  • There are also new crop_to_pointcloud() and crop_to_pointcloud_proportion() methods to round out the Image API, and a deprecation of rescale_to_reference_shape() in favour of rescale_to_pointcloud() to make things more consistent.

  • The gradient() method is deprecated (use menpo.feature.gradient instead)

  • Propagation of the .path property when using as_masked() was fixed

  • Fix for exporting 3D LJSON landmark files

  • A new shuffle kwarg (default False) is present on all multi importers.

A small point release that improves the Cython code (particularly extracting patches) compatibility with different data types. In particular, more floating point data types are now supported. print_progress was added and widgets were fixed after the Jupyter 4.0 release. Also, upgrade cyvlfeat requirement to 0.4.0.

  • #600 Human3.6M labels (@nontas)

0.5.0 (2015/06/25)

This release of Menpo makes a number of very important BREAKING changes to the format of Menpo’s core data types. Most importantly is #524 which swaps the position of the channels on an image from the last axis to the first. This is to maintain row-major ordering and make iterating over the pixels of a channel efficient. This made a huge improvement in speed in other packages such as MenpoFit. It also makes common operations such as iterating over the pixels in an image much simpler:

for channels in image.pixels:
    print(channels.shape)  # This will be a (height x width) ndarray

Other important changes include:

  • Updating all widgets to work with IPython 3

  • Incremental PCA was added.

  • non-inplace cropping methods

  • Dense SIFT features provided by vlfeat

  • The implementation of graphs was changed to use sparse matrices by default. This may cause breaking changes.

  • Many other improvements detailed in the pull requests below!

If you have serialized data using Menpo, you will likely find you have trouble reimporting it. If this is the case, please visit the user group for advice.

0.4.4 (2015/03/05)

A hotfix release for properly handling nan values in the landmark formats. Also, a few other bug fixes crept in:

  • Fix 3D Ljson importing

  • Fix trim_components on PCA

  • Fix setting None key on the landmark manager

  • Making mean_pointcloud faster

Also makes an important change to the build configuration that syncs this version of Menpo to IPython 2.x.

0.4.0 (2015/02/04)

The 0.4.0 release (pending any currently unknown bugs), represents a very significant overhaul of Menpo from v0.3.0. In particular, Menpo has been broken into four distinct packages: Menpo, MenpoFit, Menpo3D and MenpoDetect.

Visualization has had major improvements for 2D viewing, in particular through the use of IPython widgets and explicit options on the viewing methods for common tasks (like changing the landmark marker color). This final release is a much smaller set of changes over the alpha releases, so please check the full changelog for the alphas to see all changes from v0.3.0 to v0.4.0.

Summary of changes since v0.4.0a2:

  • Lots of documentation rendering fixes and style fixes including this changelog.

  • Move the LJSON format to V2. V1 is now being deprecated over the next version.

  • More visualization customization fixes including multiple marker colors for landmark groups.

  • #529 BU3D-FE labeller added (@jabooth)

  • #527 fixes paths for pickle importing (@jabooth)

  • #525 Fix .rst doc files, auto-generation script (@jabooth)

v0.4.0a2 (2014/12/03)

Alpha 2 moves towards extending the graphing API so that visualization is more dependable.

Summary:

  • Add graph classes, PointUndirectedGraph, PointDirectedGraph, PointTree. This makes visualization of landmarks much nicer looking.

  • Better support of pickling menpo objects

  • Add a bounding box method to PointCloud for calculating the correctly oriented bounding box of point clouds.

  • Allow PCA to operate in place for large data matrices.

v0.4.0a1 (2014/10/31)

This first alpha release makes a number of large, breaking changes to Menpo from v0.3.0. The biggest change is that Menpo3D and MenpoFit were created and thus all AAM and 3D visualization/rasterization code has been moved out of the main Menpo repository. This is working towards Menpo being pip installable.

Summary:

  • Fixes memory leak whereby weak references were being kept between landmarks and their host objects. The Landmark manager now no longer keeps references to its host object. This also helps with serialization.

  • Use pathlib instead of strings for paths in the io module.

  • Importing of builtin assets from a simple function

  • Improve support for image importing (including ability to import without normalising)

  • Add fast methods for image warping, warp_to_mask and warp_to_shape instead of warp_to

  • Allow masking of triangle meshes

  • Add IPython visualization widgets for our core types

  • All expensive properties (properties that would be worth caching in a variable and are not merely a lookup) are changed to methods.
